Two stubborn drivers brought a road in Scotland to gridlock when both refused to back down in a row over 'who was first' for 30 minutes.

A taxi driver in a Skoda Octavia went head to head with a man in a Honda as neither would reverse just few feet to let the other continue on the street in Dunfermline on Monday.

Despite a heavily pregnant woman and her children being forced to abandon the taxi to walk up a steep hill with bags of shopping, the duelling duo STILL refused to back down.

After half an hour, police arrived and finally resolved the dispute.

The clash of the cars attracted crowds of residents to line the streets with cans of beer and glasses of wine to watch the showdown, which was branded 'the most exciting thing to happen around here for a while'.

Garry Evans, 42, videoed the stubborn standoff as passengers from two buses stranded at each side of the deadlock were forced to disembark and continue on foot.

The hilarious footage shows the obstinate drivers arguing through the Honda owner’s window as the taxi driver even hands his phone over 'so that his rival could explain himself to his boss'.

The taxi driver can be heard shouting: “I want you out the road.

"Daft b*****d.”

The unnamed driver of the Honda tells the taxi driver's boss on the phone: “The guy is being a bit aggressive.

"All you’ve got to do is reverse the car."

Eventually one of the bewildered bus drivers comes over to reason with the Honda driver, but is unsuccessful in convincing him to back down before walking away again.

Garry, who has presented on television and radio in the past, uploaded the video and provided his own amusing commentary, racking up over 76,000 views online.

When Garry eventually approached the Honda owner for his opinions on the stand-off and his rival, the man said: "He’s a bit of a c**k."

The taxi driver refused to offer Garry a response in the footage however.

Garry, an operations manager and security guard, said: "It was the ultimate test of masculinity.

"We were just bewildered and bemused by it all, but it was funny.

"When the police turned up, the taxi driver started arguing with them and the officer just said ‘if you don’t move you will get arrested’ and then he scarpered.

"It’s not very often we get something exciting happening around here.

“I could have intervened but it was my day off and I was having too much fun with it."

Officers arrived at the scene and resolved the standoff without making any arrests.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police in Fife were called to the area of Dunfermline at around 5.30pm on Monday 30 April following reports of a road traffic dispute.
